Serves 4
Though most glazes are applied with a brush, this slightly chunky mixture of sautéed mushrooms and red peppers is spooned over the fish. The honey helps the crust brown, and a splash of vinegar and a spoonful of chili paste perk up the fish, while the vegetables add texture and color.
Position an oven rack about 8 inches away from the broiler element and heat the broiler to high.
Oil a large, rimmed baking sheet. Set the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet, sprinkle with 1 Tbs. oil, the coriander, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper, and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the sauce.
In a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the red pepper, scallion whites, and ginger in the remaining 2 Tbs. oil, stirring occasionally, until the red pepper and scallions start to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, raise the heat to medium-high, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring, until they soften and start to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the honey, vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer. Whisk the cornstarch with 1 tsp. water and stir into the glaze. Return to a simmer and cook until the glaze thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Broil the salmon until it starts to brown and becomes almost firm to the touch, about 8 minutes. Momentarily transfer to the stovetop and spoon the glaze over the salmon. Return to the oven and broil for about 1 more minute so the glaze browns and the salmon almost completely cooks through (check by using a paring knife to flake a thicker part of the fillet). Sprinkle with the scallion greens, transfer to a large platter, and serve.
Serve with steamed rice and Stir-Fried Napa Cabbage with Chile and Basil.

10/18/2013Salmon was tender. Delicious topping. Important to let salmon come to room temp before broiling.

10/1/2011Easy and delicious. Spicy but not overwhelming. I'd use it on chicken also.
One of the best sauces I have made.
by sasycali,
9/6/2011Loved this! Even my fish hating father enjoyed it. I didn't have any siracha, but threw in a couple shakes of chili pepper flakes and ended up sautéing some carrots and baby bok choy to lay the salmon on top. Yum

12/1/2010Loved this recipe. It was easy to prepare and the sauce was deliciously sweet and had the right amount of spice.
by Raayah,
11/5/2010Delicious! The salmon was moist and the sauce was a lovely combination of sweet and savory. It was also simple and quick to prepare.

A lawsuit filed on Oct. 23 asks the Hamilton County Court of Appeals to compel the Hamilton County Board of Elections to scrub UrbanCincy.com owner Randy Simes off the local voter rolls.
The lawsuit was filed less than two weeks after the board of elections ruled that Simes is eligible to vote in Cincinnati.
The case has been mired in politics since it was
first filed to the board of elections. Simes' supporters claim the legal actions are meant to suppress Simes' support for the streetcar project and Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls' mayoral campaign. Proponents of the lawsuit argue they're just trying to uphold the integrity of voting.
Attorney Curt
Hartman is spearheading the lawsuit. He regularly represents the Coalition Opposed to
Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), a conservative group that opposes the streetcar project and Qualls.
The lawsuit claims Simes isn't legally able to vote in
Cincinnati because he currently resides in South Korea and lived in Chicago
prior to the move overseas.
Ohio election law requires a place of residency to vote, but someone can remain on the voter rolls if he or she intends to return to the city or state while in another part of the country or overseas.
Simes' supporters, who the board of elections sided with
on Oct. 14, claim Simes has every intention of returning to Cincinnati
when he's done with his work in South Korea. Simes' contract
with his employer, Parsons Brinckerhoff, states he'll return to
Cincinnati in two years.
Until then, Simes is registered to vote at a condominium owned by his friend and business colleague, Travis Estell.
According to Estell's testimony to the board of election, Simes kept a key and sometimes stayed for a week when he came and went from the residence throughout the spring and summer. Simes also has credit card and bank mail sent to the address, and he attempted to change his registered driver's license address to match the residence, Estell said.
But Hartman says the evidence, which was gathered largely through Simes' social media activities, shows Simes was a visitor, not a resident. He cites Estell's testimony that Simes lived out of a suitcase and didn't pay rent when he stayed in Cincinnati.
Tim Burke, chairman of the board of elections and Hamilton County Democratic Party, says there's a reason three out of four members of the board, including one Republican, agreed Simes should remain on the voter rolls.
"The facts that were presented didn't rise to the legal standard of clear and convincing evidence to justify depriving the voter of his right to vote," Burke says.
Burke likens the arrangement to a Procter & Gamble employee who spends a year or two overseas but still keeps the right to vote in Cincinnati. Burke says someone could even sell his home in Cincinnati and keep his right to vote from the sold residence.
Hartman says the comparison doesn't work because a Procter & Gamble employee would live in and keep ties to Cincinnati prior to moving overseas. He claims Simes' decision to register to vote from Chicago in 2012 effectively broke his electoral ties with Cincinnati and Ohio.
But the argument could be rendered moot. Burke, who is named as one of the defendants in the lawsuit, says the legal challenge might not make it to court because two different people filed the lawsuit to the court of appeals and complaint to the board of elections. That could render the lawsuit procedurally defective and lead to a dismissal, according to Burke.
The lawsuit currently has no scheduled hearing or judge, but Hartman says he hopes to expedite hearings in time for the Nov. 5 election.
A Republican-proposed bill in the Ohio legislature is drawing criticism from voting rights advocates because they say it would unnecessarily limit absentee voting. The bill would permit the secretary of state to send out absentee-ballot applications on even years, when gubernatorial and presidential elections are held, only if the legislature funds the mailings, and it would prevent county election boards from mailing out additional ballot applications beyond what the state sends out. Previously, some counties mailed unsolicited ballot applications to all voters to potentially reduce lines on Election Day. Voting rights advocates say the bill will dampen and reduce voter participation, but State Sen. Bill Coley, the bill's sponsor, argues it's necessary to bring uniformity to county-by-county absentee voting.
A nine-member panel of criminal justice officials on Friday recommended limiting access and improving oversight of Ohio's controversial facial recognition program, following a two-month review of the system and public criticisms over the program's secrecy and alleged lack of oversight. The facial recognition program, which is part of a state database of criminal justice records known as the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG), was live for more than two months and 2,677 searches before Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine formally announced its existence in August. The program allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information; previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Ky. Gov. Steve Beshear debated Obamacare on Sunday's Meet the Press. Beshear pointed to his state's successful rollout of Kynect, a Kentucky-operated online marketplace for state-based health insurance plans. The Kentucky marketplace has already enrolled 26,000 Kentuckians, although 21,000 are Medicaid enrollees. Meanwhile, Kasich criticized the rocky launch of the federal portal HealthCare.gov, which only applies to states, like Ohio, that declined to run their own online marketplaces. The federal portal has been practically unworkable for a huge majority of Americans since it launched on Oct. 1. Kasich also claimed Obamacare will increase health insurance costs in Ohio — a claim that goes against findings in a national premium model developed by Avik Roy, a conservative health care expert who is typically critical of Obamacare. CityBeat covered Obamacare's Ohio rollout in further detail here.
Councilwoman Yvette Simpson is questioning why WCPO used a man named Jim Kiefer as a source after he posted racist insults aimed at her on social media. WCPO quoted Kiefer in a story as a John Cranley supporter, but the Cranley campaign quickly distanced itself from Kiefer upon learning of his history of bigoted posts on his Facebook wall, which was public at the time but is now private. Kiefer told CityBeat the posts were supposed to be jokes.

A panel of nine criminal justice officials on Friday recommended limiting access to Ohio's facial recognition program and establishing protocols that would seek to make the program less prone to abuse.
The panel's recommendations follow a nearly two-month review of current procedures and public criticisms over the program's secrecy and alleged lack of oversight.
The panel broadly looked at the Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway (OHLEG), a state database of criminal justice histories and records, but largely focused on the controversial facial recognition program, which was live for more than two months and 2,677 searches before Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine formally announced its existence in August. The program allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search databases for names and contact information; previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases.The panel recommends limiting access of the facial recognition program to law enforcement, meaning police departments, sheriff's offices, state highway patrol, county prosecuting attorneys and other local, state or federal bodies that enforce criminal laws or have employees who have the legal authority to carry out an arrest. Anyone else who wants to tap into the system would need to do so with written permission from the superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI).
For those who would retain access, the panel says written policies and protocols should be developed and implemented. The recommendations extend from written rules for out-of-state officials to a training program that better establishes clear penalties for misuse and guidelines for reporting and prosecuting infractions.
The report calls for improved monitoring of the system, which it states is "perhaps the most effective measure of whether the system is being properly implemented for its intended criminal justice purpose." The oversight should include random audits of OHLEG, one person in charge of monitoring OHLEG's use in each local agency and a model for ideal use, according to the report.
The panel says the attorney general should also establish a steering committee comprised of criminal justice officials, along with an advisory group. The committee would be in charge of OHLEG training, monitoring and policy review, among other oversight functions.
The panel also advises the attorney general's office to launch an education campaign that tells the public of the potential benefits of OHLEG's programs.
Separately, the Ohio Public Defender's Office recommends allowing citizens to access their own criminal history records through a secure Internet portal with a social security number, similar to AnnualCreditReport.com.
The panel included former Ohio Supreme Court justices, judges and law enforcement officials, among other criminal justice leaders from around Ohio.
DeWine, a Republican, says the facial recognition program is a vital tool for law enforcement to more easily identify and catch potential criminals. But critics, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio and Democratic attorney general candidate David Pepper, say the program was allowed to operate for far too long without public knowledge or proper checks in place.When asked if DeWine will implement the recommendations, Lisa Hackley, spokesperson for the attorney general's office, wrote in an email, "The Attorney General has committed to implementing the recommendations. Some are already in progress. Others, such as those requiring new computer programming, may take longer."
The full report:
Updated at 10:04 p.m. with comment from the attorney general's office.
Councilwoman Yvette Simpson is questioning why WCPO used a man named Jim Kiefer as a source for a story after he harassed her on social media with racist insults.
WCPO's Kevin Osborne
quoted Kiefer in a story, identifying him as a supporter for John Cranley's mayoral
campaign. (Full disclosure: Osborne formerly worked for CityBeat.)
When Simpson saw the story with Kiefer as a source, she says she immediately recognized him as someone who has repeatedly harassed her with racist remarks on Facebook.
Kiefer's Facebook page was publicly viewable prior to Simpson calling him out on Twitter yesterday, but it has since been made private.
On Oct. 20, the day before WCPO's story was published, Kiefer posted a message on his Facebook wall that said, "For my pick as worst councilperson in cincinnati (sic).... Evette (sic) getto (sic) Simpson!" Although the post included various grammatical and spelling errors, Kiefer then attached an image that said, "No you may not 'Axe' me a question. I don't speak Walmart."
Several of Simpson's colleagues, including Councilman Chris Seelbach and City Council candidate Mike Moroski, have come to Simpson's defense after she posted the image.
The issue for Simpson is whether a media outlet should be
using Kiefer as a source, considering his images and posts were publicly viewable on Facebook. Simpson says Osborne never responded to
her email asking whether he or WCPO is aware of Kiefer's history. Osborne is Facebook friends with Kiefer.
CityBeat contacted WCPO News Director Alex Bongiorno by phone and email to ask about WCPO's policy for vetting and identifying sources, but no response was given prior to the publishing of this story.
WCPO's story detailed criticisms from Cranley supporters against opponent Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls, who Simpson supports. Specifically, the story questioned why Qualls allegedly never sought an opinion from the Ohio Board of Ethics over whether her work as a realtor presents a potential conflict of interest with her support for the streetcar project, which could increase property values — and perhaps Qualls' compensation as a realtor — along its route.
It turns out Qualls had asked for a professional opinion on the ethical issue at least two times before,
but the city solicitor deemed the connection
between Qualls' work and the streetcar project too indirect and
speculative to present a conflict of interest, according to an email
from City Solicitor John Curp copied to CityBeat and other media outlets.
Kiefer called CityBeat after people on social media discussed CityBeat's various calls for comment for this story. Kiefer said the images were supposed to be jokes. "You have to have a sense of humor," he said.
The Cranley campaign says it has and wants nothing to do with Kiefer.
"John (Cranley) wouldn't know Jim Kiefer if he walked past him in
the street right now. It's not someone that he's ever met. It's not
someone that he's ever dealt with. It's not someone that the campaign
has ever dealt with," says Jay Kincaid, Cranley's campaign director.
"Whatever his views are don't reflect those of John."
Kincaid also points out that Cranley's record goes against
some of the bigotry perpetuated by Kiefer's posts. While on City Council, Cranley
championed and helped pass an anti-racial profiling ordinance and LGBT
protections in local hate crime laws.
Simpson's history with Kiefer goes back to at least June,
when Simpson says Kiefer went on a racist tirade against her on Facebook
in the middle of an online discussion over the city's parking plan. The
discussion has been deleted since then, but Simpson says
Kiefer told her to never return to the West Side of Cincinnati.
This is not the first time Kiefer touted images with bigoted connotations on his Facebook wall. In one instance, he "liked" an image of President Barack Obama in tribal regalia. In another, he posted an image of Barney Frank that mocked the former congressman's homosexuality.
If your medicine cabinet could use a good fall cleaning, think about de-cluttering tomorrow during National Drug Take-Back day so you can properly dispose of the pills and make sure they don't get into the wrong hands.
The local prescription take-back is sponsored by the Hamilton Country Sheriff Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Prescription drug abuse is a rampant public safety and health issues, and take-back programs are one of a number of public health measures communities can take to reduce prescription drug abuse in their neighborhoods.
Even flushing the pills down the toilet poses its own risks; the chemicals could make their way into our water supplies. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has found that fish have suffered serious deformities from pharmaceutical-tainted water supplies, and it could affect humans, too, although the research isn't strong enough to draw any solid conclusions yet.
There are three locations around the city where you can bring old prescriptions (all locations are open from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m.):
The National Institute on Drug Abuse estimates that 20 percent of people in the United States have used prescription drugs for reasons other than which they were prescribed. In 2010, 7 million Americans abused a prescription drug; pain relieving medications like Vicodin and Oxycontin are the most commonly abused drugs.
Unintentional drug overdose deaths are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in Ohio. The state has experienced a 440 percent growth rate in accidental overdose deaths from 1999 to 2011.
According to DrugAbuse.gov, teenagers are especially likely to abuse medications because of their easy accessibility and a lack of awareness about the consequences of abuse.
Needles, IV bags and radioactive medicines will not be accepted.
Issue 4, the ballot initiative that would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system, obtained most of its financial support from out-of-town tea party groups, according to financial disclosure forms filed to the Hamilton County Board of Elections on Oct. 24. Of the more than $231,000 raised for Issue 4 by Cincinnati for Pension Reform, $229,500 came from groups in West Chester, Ohio, and Virginia. Chris Littleton, a leading consultant for Issue 4 and a long-time tea party activist involved in a few of the listed groups, is also based in West Chester. City leaders unanimously oppose Issue 4 because they argue it would force the city to cut services and city employees' retirement benefits — two claims that have been backed by studies on Issue 4. Supporters say Issue 4 is necessary to help fix the pension system's $862 unfunded liability. Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls previously told CityBeat that City Council will take up further reforms to address the unfunded liability after the election, assuming voters reject Issue 4 on Nov. 5.
A re-inspection of the privatized Lake Erie Correctional Institution (LECI) found that, while the private prison has made some improvements in rehabilitation, health services and staffing, it remains on pace in 2013 to match the previous year's increased levels of violence. Various state reports found the facility quickly deteriorated after it became the first state prison to be sold to a private company, Corrections Corporation of America, in 2011, under the urging of Gov. John Kasich. In particular, inmate-on-inmate and inmate-on-staff assaults rapidly rose between 2010 and 2012 and appear to remain at similar increased levels in 2013, according to an audit conducted on Sept. 9 and 10 by Correctional Institution Inspection Committee, Ohio's independent prison watchdog. CityBeat previously covered the deteriorating conditions at LECI in further detail here.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted advocated trimming the amount of early voting days in a letter to the state legislature yesterday. Husted says he wants the rules passed to establish uniformity across all Ohio counties. But Democrats — including State Sen. Nina Turner, who is set to run against Husted in 2014 for secretary of state — say the measures attempt to limit voting opportunities and suppress voters. In 2012, Doug Preisse, close adviser to Gov. Kasich and chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party, explained similar measures that limit early voting in an email to The Columbus Dispatch: "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine." Husted's suggestions also included measures that would allow online voter registration and limit ballot access for candidates in minor political parties.
A Hamilton County judge yesterday dismissed another legal challenge against the city's parking plan, but the conservative group behind the legal dispute plans to appeal. The plan would lease Cincinnati's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, which would then use private operators to manage the assets. Supporters say the lease is necessary to leverage the city's parking assets for an $85 million upfront payment that would help pay for development projects. Opponents argue it gives up too much control over the city's parking assets to private entities.
Several Medicaid overhaul bills began moving in the Ohio House yesterday, following months of work and promises from Republican legislators. The bills increase penalties for defrauding the state, require the Department of Medicaid to implement reforms that seek to improve outcomes and emphasize personal responsibility, and make specific tweaks on minors obtaining prescriptions, hospitals reporting of neonatal abstinence syndrome, behavioral health services and other smaller categories. The overhaul bills follow Gov. Kasich's decision to bypass the Ohio legislature and expand Medicaid eligibility for at least two years with federal funds approved by the Controlling Board, an obscure seven-member legislative panel.
Ohio's controversial facial-recognition program can be used by some federal and out-of-state officials, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer. The program allows police officers and civilian employees to use a photo to search state databases for names and contact information; previously, law enforcement officials needed a name or address to search such databases. Shortly after the program was revealed, Gov. Kasich compared it to privacy-breaching national intelligence agencies.
Ohio students aren't as good at math and science as students in China, Japan, Korea and Singapore, among other countries.
A bipartisan "open container" bill would allow cities, including Cincinnati, to legalize drinking alcohol in the streets. In the case of Cincinnati, the city could allow public drinking in up to two districts if the bill passed. Supporters of the bill say it would boost economic activity in certain areas, but some are concerned the bill will enable "trash and rowdiness."

Issue 4, the ballot initiative that would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system, obtained most of its financial support from out-of-town tea party groups, according to financial disclosure forms filed to the Hamilton County Board of Elections on Oct. 24.
The report confirms concerns previously raised by city officials, unions and mayoral and City Council candidates: The pension privatization effort is coming from outside Cincinnati and, in some instances, Ohio.
Up to Oct. 16, Cincinnati for Pension Reform, which successfully placed Issue 4 on the ballot, received more than $231,000 from campaign contributors. Of that money, $209,500 came from groups in West Chester, Ohio — organizations called Jobs and Progress Fund, A Public Voice, Ohio 2.0 and Ohio Rising — and $20,000 came from the Virginia-based Liberty Initiative Fund, which CityBeat previously reported as an early supporter of pension privatization schemes around the country.
Chris Littleton, a leading consultant for Issue 4 and long-time tea party activist, is also based in West Chester. He's blogged about his involvement in Ohio Rising and Ohio 2.0, and he helped create the Cincinnati Tea Party and Ohio Liberty Coalition, another tea party group.
Upon receiving the contributions, Cincinnati for Pension Reform used more than $215,000 to circulate petitions, email blasts, advertisements and other typical campaign expenses.
The infusion of cash from out-of-town sources also helps explain why Cincinnati for Pension Reform managed to mobilize its efforts so quickly and without the knowledge of many city officials, who previously said they're bewildered by the effort and don't know where it came from.
If approved by voters, Issue 4 would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system so city employees hired after January 2014 would contribute to and manage individual retirement accounts, which would also be supported by a proportional match from the city. That's a shift from the current system in which the city pools pension funds and manages the investments through an independent board. The idea is to move from a public plan and instead imitate a 401k plan that's often seen in the private sector.
The conservative Buckeye Institute, which supports Issue 4, previously studied the proposal and found it could greatly reduce retirement benefits for city employees. Although the Buckeye Institute's report claims Issue 4 could ultimately save Cincinnati money, it was laced with caveats that could actually lead to higher costs for the city.
Another study from a finance professor at Xavier University found Issue 4, if approved, could force the city to cut services, excluding police and firefighters, by up to 41 percent or increase taxes by a similar amount in the near term by mandating that the city more expediently pay off the current pension system's $862 million unfunded liability.
A major concern for critics of Issue 4 is that it could cost the city its Social Security exemption. Under the current pension system, the city doesn't have to pay into Social Security. If Issue 4 passes, the city's contributions to the pension system might not be generous enough to keep the exemption, which could force the city to make costly Social Security payments.
And if the city doesn't lose its exemption, city workers would be left with an individual retirement plan that wouldn't have the safety net of Social Security — unlike private-sector workers who get both an individual retirement account and Social Security.
Supporters of Issue 4 dismiss the criticisms. They say that Issue 4 is necessary to address Cincinnati's large unfunded pension liability, which credit ratings agency Moody's cited as one of the reasons it downgraded the city's bond rating in July.
The city's leaders, who unanimously oppose Issue 4, say they are working on solving the liability, but they argue it's better to reform the system, not scrap it altogether.
Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls previously told CityBeat that pension issues for current city employees are covered by reforms passed in 2011, and she says City Council will take up further reforms to address the unfunded liability after the election in November.
Voters will make the final decision on Issue 4 on Nov. 5.
The full financial report:
Updated with more information Chris Littleton and the involved groups.
A re-inspection of the privatized Lake Erie Correctional Institution (LECI) found the prison is "heading in a positive direction," but the facility is still on pace in 2013 to maintain increased levels of violence similar to the year before, according to the report.
In 2011, LECI became the first state prison in the country to be sold to a private company after Ohio, under the urging of Gov. John Kasich, sold the facility to Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) as a cost-cutting measure. Since then, multiple inspections found deteriorating health and safety conditions that anti-privatization critics warned of prior to the sale.
The audit, published on Oct. 8 but conducted on Sept. 9 and 10, comes from the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee (CIIC), Ohio's independent prison watchdog.
The inspection was announced beforehand, unlike the unannounced audit on Jan.
22 that found a sharp rise in violence and various health problems. In other words,
CCA had time to prepare for the latest inspection but not the one
conducted earlier in the year, which could explain some of the mixed improvements.
"The CIIC inspection team's overall sense is that conditions have improved," the report claimed. "CCA has poured significant resources into the prison, including removing or changing staff, hiring on former (Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction) staff, investing in additional security measures, and bringing in outside consultants."
But for all the improvements, CIIC found issues of safety, security and inmate discipline linger: "Although improved slightly, the percentage of inmates reporting that they feel unsafe or very unsafe is still high."
CIIC found inmate-on-inmate and inmate-on-staff assaults remain on track to match 2012's higher levels of violence. The previous CIIC audit found inmate-on-inmate violence had increased by 188 percent and inmate-on-staff violence had increased by more than 300 percent between 2010 and 2012.
Staff reportedly told inspectors that there was "significant progress" in rates of violence throughout 2013, but the provided statistics for the year don't reflect an improvement.
In some areas, conditions measurably worsened: CIIC reported that a "significantly higher percentage of inmates" tested positive for illegal substances in the first eight months of 2013 compared to the same time span in 2012.
Disciplinary actions and use of force were noted concerns for CIIC, even though LECI staff apparently made strides to exert more control over the inmate population. The prison also has more serious misconduct than similar minimum- and medium-security facilities.
CIIC didn't formally inspect medical services and recreational facilities, but inspectors received various complaints from inmates in both areas. The amount of inmate grievances against staff actions also remain higher than the years before CCA took over the facility, although CIIC found slight improvement.
Still, the report repeatedly praised CCA for its improvements, particularly in rehabilitation and reentry services, better performance of rounds and shakedowns, and stronger health services and records. One example: CIIC found inmates are receiving 47.9 percent more GED diplomas, which certify a high school-level education, than they did in 2011, putting LECI's GED achievement level at the average for similar prisons.
Staffing issues also improved, although the staff turnover rate remains above the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction average and security officers reported poor morale because of low wages.
For some critics of privatization, the poor conditions come as no surprise. Before CCA bought LECI, the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio repeatedly warned that the for-profit incentive encourages private prison companies to cut services, security and staff while maintaining as many prisoners as possible, since the prison's pay is based on how many inmates it holds.
CityBeat previously reported on the deteriorating
conditions at LECI after inmates' insider accounts, requested public records

JobsOhio and similar privatized development agencies in other states create scandals and potentials of conflicts of interests instead of jobs, according to an Oct. 23 report from Good Jobs First. The report found that privatized development agencies in seven states, including Ohio, tend to also exaggerate job claims and resist basic oversight. JobsOhio in particular is chaired by people who donated to Gov. John Kasich's campaign. The agency also received public money without informing the legislature, and it gained a legal exemption from full public audits, public records laws and open meeting rules. Kasich and Republican legislators in 2011 established JobsOhio to replace the Ohio Department of Development. They argue JobsOhio's privatized, secretive nature helps the agency establish job-creating development deals at the "speed of business." But Democrats say JobsOhio is ripe for abuse, difficult to hold accountable and unclear in its results.
A bill that intends to bring uniformity to Ohio's complex municipal income tax code got a makeover, but cities say the bill still reduces their revenues. Business groups are pushing for the bill so they can more easily work from city to city and county to county without dealing with a web of different forms and regulations, but cities are concerned they'll lose as much as $2 million a year. Many cities already lost some state funding after Kasich and the Republican legislature slashed local government funding, which reduced revenues for Cincinnati in particular by $22.2 million in 2013, according to City Manager Milton Dohoney.
Opponents of Issue 4, the tea party-backed city charter amendment that would semi-privatize Cincinnati's pension system, say it could force the city to cut services by 41 percent or raise taxes significantly. CityBeat analyzed the amendment in further detail here.
Converting Mercy Mt. Airy Hospital into a crime lab for the county coroner's office could cost $21.5 million, well under the previously projected $56 million. Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco says it could be the most economical way for the county to get a crime lab, which the coroner's office says it desperately needs. Hamilton County Administrator Christian Sigman says he's still concerned about operating costs, but he'll review the new estimates and advise county commissioners on how to proceed.
An Over-the-Rhine business owner says Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC) "dropped the ball" with incentives for retail businesses, and he's now looking to move his store, Joseph Williams Home, to the suburbs. Specifically, Fred Arrowood says 3CDC has done a lot to accommodate restaurants and bars, but it failed to live up to promises to attract and retain retail businesses. But 3CDC points to its own numbers: Spaces in OTR are currently leased in contracts with 20 businesses, 15 restaurants or bars and 14 soft goods retailers.

JobsOhio and other privatized development agencies have created scandals and potential conflicts of interests instead of jobs, claims an Oct. 23 report from Good Jobs First, a research center founded in 1998 that scrutinizes deals between businesses and governments.
The report looked at privatized development agencies in seven states, including Ohio, and found that many of the same problems and scandals appear from state to state.
"These experiments in privatization have, by and large, become costly failures," the report found. "Privatized development corporations have issued grossly exaggerated job-creation claims. They have created 'pay to play' appearances of insider dealing and conflicts of interest. They have paid executives larger salaries than governors. They have resisted basic oversight."
The report focuses much of its findings on JobsOhio, a privatized development agency that Gov. John Kasich and Republican legislators established in 2011 to replace the Ohio Department of Development. The agency uses tax subsidies and other financial incentives to attract companies to Ohio with the intention of creating jobs.
But the report states JobsOhio "assembled a board of directors whose members included some of (Kasich's) major campaign contributors and executives from companies that were recipients of large state development subsidies. It received a large transfer of state monies about which the legislature was not informed, intermingled public and private monies, refused to name its private donors, and then won legal exemption (advocated by Gov. Kasich) from review of its finances by the state auditor."
It found similar issues in privatized development agencies in Wisconsin, Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Rhode Island and Michigan. In some cases, the scandals have cost states millions of dollars with little job creation to show for it, according to the report.
The latest report concurred many of the findings in a similar 2011 report from Good Jobs First, which sought to warn states, including Ohio, about the potential risks of privatized development agencies.
For JobsOhio, a major cause for concern in the report is how difficult it is to hold the agency accountable. State legislators have approved multiple measures that shield JobsOhio from public scrutiny, including exemptions that exclude the agency from public records laws, open meeting rules and the possibility of a full public audit.
Some of the controversy also focuses on how the state funds JobsOhio.
"The proposal called for 'leasing' the state liquor profits ($228 million the year prior) for up to 25 years to JobsOhio, which would eventually issue $1.4 billion in bonds to pay for the use of the funds," according to the report. "Critics charged that this was not a fair market price for profits that could potentially amount to $6 billion over the term of the agreement."
The report laments that the privatized and secretive agency represents a shift for Ohio, which the report claims "was an early practitioner of online subsidy disclosure."
Good Jobs First concludes privatized development agencies perpetuate an economic environment in which big companies already have too much say.
"The privatization structures we describe here, including the increasing use of corporate seats for sale on governing or advisory boards, absolutely favor large businesses that have the money and executive staff time to pay and play at such levels," the report concluded. "But small businesses already get short shrift in economic development resource allocation, and they are still suffering the most in the Great Recession's aftermath."
The organization also takes issue with the idea that public agencies aren't "nimble": "In all of our years tracking development deals, we have yet to hear of a state agency that lost an important deal because it failed to provide labor market or real estate or incentive data in a timely manner."
Asked about the report, Kasich spokesperson Rob Nichols responded in an email, "We don't pay much attention to politically-motivated opponents whose mission is to combat job creation."
Kasich and other Republicans claim JobsOhio's privatized, secretive nature is necessary to secure job-creating development deals with private companies in an economic environment that, through the Internet and globalization, moves more quickly than ever before.
Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald, claim the agency is ripe for abuse, difficult to hold accountable and unclear in its results.
State Auditor Dave Yost plans to release an audit of JobsOhio soon, but no specific date or time frame is set for the release. The audit was granted prior to state legislation that barred the state auditor from doing a full sweep of JobsOhio's financial details.

In 2012 the SEC experimented with a wireless communication system for its officials. One goal was to allow officials to make calls quicker, without having to huddle for a discussion. Another was to provide quicker access and information to a replay official in the pressbox.
Last season, two SEC crews used the system. The league will continue to use the headsets in 2013 and coordinator of officials, Steve Shaw, says someday the SEC office wants to outfit all its crews with the wireless system. The NCAA recently decided to allow other leagues to use wireless communications as well. (The SEC had to ask for a waiver in order to conduct its experiment last season.)
Obviously, Shaw and company were pleased with the system:
"I think more conferences will go to it. One area that it really helped — and it's going to be an area we feel more and more pressure in — is uptempo offenses and substitutions. This helps you manage the game because the umpire and ref can communicate."
According to Shaw, use of the system cut game times by about three to four minutes.
Shaw also said that the SEC will experiment with adding an eighth on-field official during some spring games this year.

Anonymous asked: OMG FUCK YOU YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT DISNEY MOVIES WERENT CREATED FOR YOU THEY WERE CREATED FOR KIDS SORRY IF THEY DONT MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS FUCK YOU
Once upon a time I was babysitting my 12 year-old cousin and I took her to the mall for food and window shopping. This was around the time Enchanted came out so of course the walls were lined with Giselle. Not that I particularly minded, Enchanted was a good film.
So at any rate, I was casually browsing some of the outfits they had out and pick out this pink sparkly dress meant to be Aurora's. I said, "Hey, Destiny, why don't you wear this for Halloween?"
I should note I was just joking because this was the age where she was rebelling against dresses but rather than to comment on that she simply replied with, "That isn't for me."
I thought she was talking about the fact that I was holding up a dress so I pressed on, "Aw why not? C'mooon! I'm sure it'll look great on you! Oh we could get you a nice tiara and sparkly heels-"
But she shook her head and went, "That's only for white girls."
Of course it was the initial line that took me by surprise, but even moreso was the sheer matter-of-factness that was in her voice. She wasn't even fazed by it and talked as if was telling me some fact that I must have missed in a memo.
She went on to look at the TV screen but I kept going through the outfits thinking that maybe Jasmine or Pocahontas or Mulan would work, but that wasn't the problem.
The problem IS that she is the so-called target audience for a store in which she found nothing for her and she accepted it as a fact.
The problem IS that all of this princess stuff isn't FOR her.
The problem IS that I went through this revelation when I was her age and I thought that it would have ended a long time ago.
The problem IS that they rejoiced in Tiana only to get three more non-POC princesses.
And the problem is that all of this will CONTINUE to be and I just don't know if I would be able to stand watching my two year-old niece realize this herself.
Because we're Mexican, we're mixed, we're African-American, but most importantly we're not white.
So you know what? No. Fuck YOU.
Because I WAS a kid. These princess movies WERE created for me, my cousins, my niece, and damn near every other little girl I have know in my lifetime.
And we were NEVER a part of their formula.
We are NEVER going to be a part of their formula.
I'm sick of this shit. I want to see this shit change and I'm not going to sit around waiting for it to change.
I am going to raise hell and I will bust my ass through school and I will get my degree and I will get into the animation industry and I will fight my absolute hardest to help in the change because if there's one thing I never want to see again is a kid questioning why movies refuse to acknowledge their existence.
So you sit the fuck down and you shut the fuck up and you go through hearing this shit from four different kids and then you see if you can get off your fucking ass and say that shit to me again.

Published on: Thursday, November 01, 2012
By Brian J. Karem
Monday afternoon I covered a fatality.
It is not the first time I've covered either an accident fatality or murder or victim of some other gruesome event.
I've covered hundreds of them. Some of them contained poignant events seared into my mind that constantly tell me of the complexities of life and its inherently fragile nature.
Each one has left me thanking the deity that it wasn't me at the other end of the camera or that my name wasn't being written down in some reporter's notebook.
"Hack writer presumed dead," always strikes me as the headline I wouldn't get to see – with apologies to Garry Trudeau and Duke.
As for this particular fatality, a 66-year-old Montgomery County woman lost her life when a truck driven by a 19-year-old man struck her car nearly head-on near Brink Road on the Rockville Pike, or State Road 355 if you prefer, near Clarksburg.
With the amount of rain in the area due to Hurricane Sandy, it wasn't hard to guess the rain had something to do with the accident.
I was left wondering what this woman's last thoughts were. It was raining and it was windy. Did she worry about her family? Did she think that any moment she'd be home and make lunch for her husband? Was she angry, happy, sad or laughing about a joke she just heard.
I hope that was it.
Then Wednesday morning, a 15-year-old girl walking to school was struck down by a passing motorist near Seneca Valley High School.
This too left me wondering, but even more so. What did the world lose? What could this young lady have accomplished, had she been given the chance? Did she care about science? Could she have made a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Universe? Perhaps she'd work for NASA, land on Mars or maybe she liked music and would write a song the world could enjoy.
Maybe she'd have been a good mother.
Invariably this led me to thinking about the damage brought about by Hurricane Sandy.
While we in the Washington D.C. Metro area only suffered a glancing blow from this historic storm, others suffered greatly.
There was property damage, loss of life, loss of livelihood and some simply lost a place to sleep because of this big behemoth.
Meanwhile, some questioned whether or not this storm was "punishment from God."
I'm not kidding.
One preacher down south even blamed the storm on "gays" and the lesbian-gay community.
On Facebook, where every moron in the world has an opinion and is readily disposed to preach it to you, people got angry with President Obama for being too quick to respond to the storm, got angry with Mitt Romney for helping out in the storm and some even said the storm was a conspiracy by the government to disrupt lives on the east coast.
I never thought I'd say this, but I long for the days of limited access to media so at least someone could exercise some caution, restraint and fact-finding before putting pen to paper or opening a mouth and inserting both feet.
For the record, God didn't "punish" us because we have gay people in the United States. The HARP electric experiments didn't create the storm and give Obama and Romney a break.
At the very least both of those men seem to be more level-headed than most of their followers.
It is frightening to me and ultimately very disturbing that people are so exceedingly ignorant – not you of course – you're reading this column.
But it's "those people" out there who believe that with the immense expanse of the Universe at his command, the deity would give a flying fig about the east coast of the United States on a backwater planet buried on one spiral arm of an average galaxy among all the millions of other galaxies in the cosmos.
It's "those people" who believe in conspiracies and believe everyone is as shallow and conspiratorial minded as they are who really unnerve me.
God must really be small minded if we are to believe "those people."
Today there are two families in our community dealing with an unexpected and tragic loss.
What a different world it would be if we cared more about those things than the ultimately comic tragedy of our own prejudices.

|FprEN 60335-2-35:2012/FprAA:2013
|Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-35: Particular requirements for instantaneous water heaters
|Project Number
|IEC 60335-2-35:2012 deals with the safety of electric instantaneous water heaters for household and similar purposes and intended for heating water below boiling temperature, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. Instantaneous water heaters incorporating bare heating elements are within the scope of this standard. Appliances not intended for normal household use but that nevertheless may be a source of danger to the public, such as appliances intended to be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction or children playing with the appliance. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2002, including its Amendment 1 (2006) and its Amendment 2 (2009). The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fourth edition of IEC 60335-2-31 are as follows: - converted notes to normative text (7.12, 7.102, 8.1.5, 22.104, and 22.109.3); - deleted notes in 19.13, 22.109, and A.101; - added Annex R and 22.108 for appliances with programmable electronic circuits and added requirements for water heaters (22.50, 22.51). The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication. Keywords: Water heater, Instantaneous, open-outlet, bare-element.

Don't loan money at interest. Leviticus.
"If your kinsman, being in straits, comes under your authority, and you hold him as though a resident alien, do not exact from him advance or accruted interest, but fear your God. Let him live by your side as a kinsman. Do not lend him money at advance interest, or give him your food at accrued interest. I the Lord am your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.
If your kinsman under you continues in straits and must give himself over to you, do not subject him to the treatment of a slave. He shall remain with you as a hired or bound laborer; he shall serve with you only until the Jubilee year."
Leviticus 25:35-40
The interesting thing here, obviously, is the way that interest is regarded as something to be avoided.
Also, personal debt is expected to be released on the Jubilee year.
What would happen if America practiced Jubilee? Do you think this only applies to kinsmen, or would apply to those not related to you? For Jesus, who were kinsmen?

As mtrot said, most Yamahas outside of the Z models aren't real power-house. They usually offer the lower-end of adequate amounts of power, but make up for it with great features and tons of DSP options. Their YPAO is also usually on-par or superior to Pioneer MCACC and Audyssey 2EQ, but not quite up to the level of MultiEQ or MultiEQ XT. I drove my 6.1s in a very small room (10x11x8) with a Yamaha 1400 for about a month and while the power was adequate, it wasn't impressive. I stepped up to a Pioneer 82TXs which felt much more powerful and effortless at higher volumes, and was still powerful enough to drive the 6.1s well enough at full range when I moved into a medium sized room (15x22x8)... it opened up even more when I rebuilt my subwoofer, taking some load off of the internal amps. I saw a similar step up in power going to the Onkyo SR805 (the Pioneer was struck by lightning). It is a beast of a receiver... the only thing I can think of that has ever come close in a similar price range is the HK 7200/7300 some years back (a 65lb beast). I would easily put the SR805's amplification on par with the $2-3k offerings such as the Denon 4308, Marantz 9xxx series, and the higher end HK line when they still had one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does Apple review the company's progress and status regarding its environmental impact?
A: Apple's Executive Team is responsible for setting and implementing environmental policies. This group of the company's most senior executives is advised by teams from across Apple, including environmental engineering, product development, operations, facilities, and supplier responsibility. Apple's climate change strategy is built into all facilities development plans and plays an important role in the product development process. In 2009, at the direction of the Executive Team, Apple became the first company in the electronics industry to report its entire carbon footprint including the impact of its products on the environment through consumer use. In addition to providing consumers with an unprecedented level of detail and transparency on which to base their purchasing decisions, measuring the company's carbon footprint helps the company identify areas where it can make the most significant reductions.
We understand that the vast majority of greenhouse gas emissions (up to 98 percent) come from the product life cycle, which is why decisions about the environmental attributes of our products are an integral aspect of all decisions related to the design and manufacture of those products. The same is true of all the environmental decisions for our facilities. Our integrated approach means that decisions about environmental issues are reviewed at the highest levels of the company. This structure has been an important factor in Apple's success, particularly in the area of environmental responsibility. Executive Team members regularly review each new product during its development, focusing on material and design choices, the supply chain, packaging, and product energy efficiency. Each of these areas has a direct impact on our environmental footprint. This strategy, which we've been using for well over two decades, has yielded the most environmentally forward-looking product designs in our industry. Every product we offer meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency, is free of many harmful toxins, and is made of highly recyclable materials. Our facilities and operations teams also regularly review our programs and investments to reduce carbon emissions with Executive Team members. The results of these reviews include increased use of green power, new technology investments, commute programs, and conservation. The efforts of this team have produced the highest product recycling rate in our industry.
Apple delivers important environmental attributes across all the company's products and product families. Not only does Apple deliver where others have only promised to do so in the future, Apple has delivered where it's most meaningful. The Apple Executive Team is committed to our environmental strategy: to reduce our carbon footprint, to remove toxins, and to report on the environmental impact of every product we make so that our customers can measure our progress.
We are also committed to reporting our global corporate emissions annually and to reporting at the product level with each new product introduction.
Q: What is life cycle assessment (LCA)?
A: LCA is a process of evaluating the effects that a product has on the environment throughout its life cycle. The objective of completing a full life cycle analysis is to improve resource efficiency while reducing the environmental impact of all activities required to manufacture, distribute, use, and dispose of a product. Cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments, for instance, include the extraction of raw materials from the earth, their transformation into finished materials, the manufacturing of materials into parts and products, transportation to end users, the energy consumed during use, and ultimately recycling. During each of these phases, activities occur that use materials and energy, generating waste and emissions. Life cycle assessment is the process used to accurately measure the emissions associated with each phase of these activities.
LCA results are often categorized in several ways, including global warming potential, acidification, eutrophication, tropospheric ozone creation, and stratospheric ozone depletion. The procedures followed for life cycle assessment are defined as part of the internationally recognized ISO 14000 environmental management standards: in ISO 14040:2006 and 14044:2006.
Successful implementations of LCAs have been achieved in many industries, including automobile, airline, and consumer goods companies. For complex products and processes composed of several thousand materials, the analysis requires dedicated software applications designed to accurately capture the environmental impact of very specific processes. Software tools provide an efficient and objective assessment of the environmental impacts a company measures by using third-party databases created and updated by independent industrial engineers who are experts in specific manufacturing processes. Apple has found that a combination of data collected directly from our internal and supplier processes as well as independent third-party data sets achieves the most accurate results.
Q: How does Apple use LCA?
A: Apple uses five steps when conducting a product LCA:
1. Data collection starts with measuring the power consumed by a product while it is running under a simulated use scenario. Different scenarios are used for different product lines. For example, we assume a four-year average use period for Mac computers. To be conservative, we also assume an office scenario use pattern for every computer shipped and apply that use pattern to 365 days of use per year. For handheld products, such as iPod, iPad, and iPhone, we assume a three-year use period. For these products, charging patterns are defined according to a "power user," which we define as intense daily use over a three-year period. More information on our product power modes is provided in our Product Environmental Reports.
2. The second step is a part-by-part measurement of the entire product. This helps us accurately measure the size and weight of the components and materials in the product. Since a single product can contain several hundred parts, this step is supported by double-checking individual part details with the product's bill of materials. We include material and component yield loss during production as part of this process. We also account for the transportation of materials between manufacturing sites. Production emissions for external accessories, such as keyboards and mice, and packaging are also included in this step.
3. The third step assesses emissions from transportation of finished products to sales regions. Data is collected on single units and multipack units of product shipments as they are transported over land, by sea, and by air. The majority of the product transportation emissions are associated with getting the products from Asia to sales distribution hubs in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The final leg of transport between regional hubs and individual customers is accounted for using an overall adjustment factor.
4. The fourth step of the product life cycle measurement is the collection and recycling of the product when it reaches the end of its useful life. Transportation between customers and recycling plants along with the treatment steps carried out by the recycler to obtain metal, plastic, and glass material streams are all accounted for in this calculation. Subsequent processing and smelting steps are not included as these are considered stages of production and not end-of-life processing.
5. After we collect all the data, the final step is to run the product data model in our LCA tool and compile detailed results for greenhouse gas emissions as they relate to the product. The data and life cycle model used in the tool are checked for quality and accuracy by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany.
Q: Does Apple index its environmental performance data using Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines (G3)?
A: Yes. Environmental performance data covering energy and water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste production is provided in the 2013 Facilities Report (PDF).
Q: Does Apple use external verification and assurance for its carbon emissions reporting?
A: Yes. We engage in third-party verification for our carbon emissions reporting. The World Resource Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Developments (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Protocol was used in the calculations. Bureau Veritas (BV), a global leader in conformity assessment and certification services, provided reasonable assurance, one of the highest in the verification industry for our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. It is the opinion of BV that the information in our greenhouse gas emissions report is accurate and reliable. Scope 3 carbon emissions related to our products, calculated using life cycle assessment, are checked for quality and accuracy by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, in accordance with the internationally recognized ISO 14000 environmental management standards: ISO 14040 and 14044.
Q: What is ISO 14001, and is Apple ISO 14001 certified?
A: ISO 14001 is a voluntary international standard that establishes the requirements for an organization's environmental management system (EMS). The ISO 14001 standard helps a company manage the environmental impact of its operations in a systematic way that is integrated with overall business management processes. Apple first achieved ISO 14001 certification for a manufacturing site in 1996.
Q: Does Apple ban environmentally sensitive substances?
A: Yes. Apple's Regulated Substances Specification details a broad range of substances that are restricted or banned from use in Apple products, packaging, and manufacturing.
Q: Do Apple products contain lead?
A: Apple is in compliance with the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, which restricts the use of lead and other substances. As a result of our precautionary approach to substances, Apple phased out lead in plastic parts, paint, and packaging material long before the RoHS Directive came into effect.
Q: What are Apple's restrictions on brominated flame retardant-free (BFR-free) and polyvinyl chloride-free (PVC-free) products?
A: Apple defines a material as BFR-free and PVC-free if it contains less than 900 parts per million (ppm) of bromine and of chlorine. The 900-ppm limit is one of the strictest in the electronics industry and a concentration lower than the ban on lead in the European RoHS Directive. Since BFRs and PVC need to be present in much higher quantities to be effective, most materials that contain less than 900 ppm bromine and chlorine do not have any detectable levels of bromine or chlorine present.
Q: Which products are covered by Apple's BFR-free and PVC-free transition?
A: Apple's phaseout of BFRs and PVC covers all parts of new Apple product designs manufactured after December 31, 2008. The iPad, iPod, and iPhone are examples of products that are BFR-free and PVC-free. While Apple's phaseout will cover the vast majority of products and components, older product designs, replacement parts, and accessories for older product designs may not be fully BFR-free and PVC-free.
Q: What is REACH, and how is Apple complying with the REACH regulation?
A: The Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals Regulation EC 1907/2007, commonly referred to as REACH, is a European regulation on chemicals and their safe use. With the publication of candidate lists for authorization, the European Chemicals Agency identifies sets of substances of very high concern (SVHC) that manufacturers must disclose to customers if used in their products above 0.1 percent.
Based on the current version of the candidate list for authorization, Apple products do not contain SVHC above 0.1 percent.
Q: Does Apple use ozone-depleting substances?
A: No ozone-depleting substances (ODCs) are used in any processes to manufacture components, materials, or product packaging materials used by Apple, as stipulated by the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer.
Q: Does Apple have an Environmental Health and Safety Policy?
A: Apple is committed to protecting the environment, health, and safety of our employees, customers, and the global communities in which we operate. For more information, read our Environmental Health and Safety Policy statement (PDF).
Q: What happens to computers when they are recycled?
A: When you recycle with Apple, your used equipment is disassembled, and key components that can be reused are removed. Glass and metal can be reprocessed for use in new products. A majority of the plastics can be pelletized into a raw secondary material.
Q: Does Apple recycle packaging?
A: Apple offers free recycling of packaging from Apple products for education, business, and government customers. Contact your Apple sales representative for more information.

Tribal Elders Suing Cherokee Bear Zoo
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians are suing a North Carolina roadside zoo that keeps bears in concrete pits on reservation land.
An attorney for two tribal elders filed the lawsuit Tuesday, 60 days after they filed a notice of intent to sue the operators of the Cherokee Bear Park for violating the federal Endangered Species Act. The act allows citizens to file lawsuits for violations, but it requires them to give 60-days' notice to the violators and federal regulators
"It's shameful that the Cherokee Bear Zoo is still displaying intelligent, sensitive bears in tiny concrete pits," said Amy Walker, who filed the lawsuit with fellow tribal elder Peggy Hill. "It's obvious to anyone who sees them that these bears are suffering, and they will continue to suffer every day until they are sent to a sanctuary where they'll finally receive the care they need."
Telephone messages left for the park owners were not immediately returned Tuesday.
The lawsuit is the latest development in the long, public campaign to close three privately owned bear zoos on the Cherokee Indian Reservation: Cherokee Bear Zoo, Chief Saunooke Bear Park and Santa's Land.
Earlier this year, the Chief Saunooke Bear Park's 11 bears, including three grizzlies, were taken to a 50-acre animal sanctuary in Texas. The move came after the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which enforces the federal Animal Welfare Act, suspended the park's exhibitor's license and fined the owner $20,000 over inhumane conditions.
Inspectors found that the zoo was failing to provide the bears with appropriate food, proper veterinary care and a safe enclosure.
In Tuesday's lawsuit, the attorney for the elders said the owners of the Cherokee Bear Zoo kept the bears in inhumane living conditions – "barren and archaic concrete pits."
The lawsuit said the bears are forced to beg for food from tourists and to languish in stark dank enclosures. The elders want the bears relocated to a sanctuary where they can live in large naturalistic habitat.
"Grizzly bears require large, environmentally complex, natural spaces that allow them to express a wide range of normal movement and behaviors," the lawsuit said.
It said that because of the inadequate environment, the bears exhibit signs of severe psychological distress, including incessant pacing and circling.
Over the years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has filed complaints with federal regulators and Cherokee leaders about the bears' living conditions. Last year, the animal-rights group posted billboards in the area, calling the bear zoos "prisons" and noted that a 9-year-old girl was bitten while feeding a baby bear.
Walker, Hill and other tribal elders became involved after watching a video that showed bears rocking back and forth and circling in the tiny pits.
They said bears hold a spiritual place in Cherokee history, and in February, pressed the tribal council to force the zoos to free the bears.
But the council declined to take action. Chief Michell Hicks later issued a statement saying he wanted to give private zoo owners the opportunity to create a wildlife preserve on the reservation.
The Eastern Band has allowed caged animals as a tourism draw since the 1950s.
For years, the community in the Blue Ridge Mountains has depended on its natural landscape and wildlife — with hiking trails, fishing streams and whitewater rapids — to attract tourists. But now, many people come to the area for the casino, which opened on the reservation in 1997.

Glasgow Warriors' Stuart Hogg has been urged to inflict damage on inter-city rivals Edinburgh when the pair meet on Boxing Day.
The clash at Murrayfield on Thursday is the first of back-to-back derbies between the two Scottish pro teams, with the 1872 Cup at stake as well as vital Pro12 points.
In undoubtedly the fixture's biggest talking point, Hogg shifts from his usual full-back position to outside centre, partnering Alex Dunbar in midfield.
Sean Maitland is filling the void left by the 21-year-old at 15.
Warriors boss Gregor Townsend admits the move is designed to hurt Edinburgh as often as they can.
"We want Stuart to get on the ball as much as possible and playing him at outside centre is one way to do that," Townsend told the Daily Record.
"He has excellent basic skills. His passing, kicking and runs on to the ball are all fantastic.
"He has played 10, 13 and 15 so as the game goes on he can step up to become first receiver as well as an auxiliary full-back.
"Adaptability is key. I love players who can play in as many positions as possible. We have two or three that can do that, such as Richie Vernon who can play centre too. I see it as a big strength.
"From my time in France, they really rated guys who could play in more than one position."
